Chapter 4, Problem 4.55

(choose chapter or problem)

Five metal strips, each 0.5 X 1.5-in. cross section, are bonded together to form the composite beam shown. The modulus of elasticity is \(30 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\) for the steel, \(15 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}\) for the brass, and 10 3 106 psi for the aluminum. Knowing that the beam is bent about a horizontal axis by a couple of moment \(12 \text { kip-in. }\), determine (a) the maximum stress in each of the three metals, (b) the radius of curvature of the composite beam.
